FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Norcross Elementary School Parents,
It's hard to believe the school year is coming to an end. This year has certainly been one filled with uncertainty yet hope! The Norcross Elementary teachers and staff appreciate you for being the bridge to connecting with OUR EAGLES to ensure the learning continues. We know it has not been an easy feat and we know you are doing your best! Though there are less than ten days remaining in the school year, the teaching and learning continues. Please continue to reach out to your child's teacher and our counselors if you need anything.
As we close out this school year, we are simultaneously planning for the 2020-2021 school year. Though we are not sure what our future holds, we want to be prepared for OUR EAGLES!!!
Proud to be your principal,
Kassia
We will get through this…stronger…together. We are Norcross. We are #NorcrossStrong!
